The scripting language I work in is essentially all UID based, which true, does have those fallbacks (needing to update a script for readability when an asset changes, long names). But there is at least stability in that the name is just there for the user, so it can be "wrong" and still work.

Is there a reason why the file name could not be added as a prefix to the UID that the engine would just parse out? So if the file is called banana_counter.gd, the uid would look like uid://banana_counter_xyz123. Then it would ignore everything before 'xyz123'.

I do something very similar, though I've been using an EventKey enum for registering and naming the events, so adding a new event is as easy as slapping a new EventKey.

I, too, love cats.

I usually frame this for myself as "designing with intent". I typically see a lot of surface level advice about the importance of iteration, but without any emphasis on the important step of asking questions between each iteration. "What is our goal?" "Are we closer to that goal?".

That art is so dope. I never got super deep into magic as a player, but I've always loved the artwork.

The day I can nuke that account will be a sweet one. Just a turd sandwich of some of the worst parts of the internet between two slices of corporate bread.
